With the opening of Rocca Kitchen & Bar, renowned Boston restaurateurs Michela Larson, Gary Sullivan and Karen Haskell bring a taste of Liguria to Boston's South End. With chef Tom Fosnot at the helm, the popular neighborhood restaurant boasts a menu filled with extensively researched and entirely authentic Italian fare.

Its Harrison Avenue location allows for a little elbow room and Rocca makes the most of it with an outdoor patio, airy lounge, intimate private dining room and expansive upstairs dining room. There’s also complimentary parking – a rarity in the heart of the city.
